| Self-Sacrifice by josephacheng. |
The price of victory... is always more than you are willing to sacrifice. Never less. Never less than the sum of all your sweat and tears.
I have been thinking, my dear, vociferous readers, about the manifold nature of this – shall we say perplexing, for lack of a better word – aspect of our small world. The battles we fight each and every day – whether or not we recognise them for what they are – have served to teach, challenge, inspire... and despair.
We will not always find victory. Not every challenge is one we can meet and overcome. Yet, try we must. Try to do the best we are capable of, hoping from that place beyond reason and logic that it might just be enough. That we might rise to the challenge and continue to grow, and learn, and evolve.
Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst. Place your faith in people, but expect them not to take the high road. It might not be easy – but perhaps it was never meant to be.
Every victory comes at a price... And every defeat has something to teach us.
